Used VR/VS's...how many km is too many?

[drewins]

770,000 kilometres is too many. I used to own a VS series 2 excecutive which was an ex cop car and an ex taxi. Hence the high kilometres.

alright this is going to go against my point but thats's just crazy...!

anyway...they say "it's not what you've got...it's how you keep it"...if its been well looked after then I can't see why not. Just make sure that you keep looking after it...

Brought my 97 VS 5 speed a couple of months ago for $7000 with only 109kms on clock!

I bought my 95 VR a year and a half ago with only 92,000 on the clock - still runs like a dream now and it's up to 114,000.

I think as long as you know that it has been serviced regularly and you get the car checked out before you buy you should be fine.

I'm serious though it has had an engine change. But everthing else has done 770,000 kays

my VR exec has done 231,000, engine seems to run fine but the gearbox is slipping now i think it should be something to check with so many k's, unluckily even mechanics didnt say anything about the gearbox! has a full service history tho and came with the book n all
